My first car was the cheapest salvage title I could find, broken tape deck and radio stuck on one channel. Based on era, the first song was probably something by Nickelback.
Your comment just kept getting worse. I love it.
Please tell us that you have moved on to a better car. That was a painful read hahaha.
Ha, literally sitting by my 2012 Toyota Camry on this Friday night waiting for the AC cleaner to do its thing. I loaned it to someone while I was out of town for a couple weeks and I got it back smelling of mold and mildew. I can't drive it a mile without feeling ill. Tomorrow I will scrub and vacuum the interior. This "someone" has already moved to my blacklist.
So an upgrade from my high school car? Yes. A good car? Not really.
In the spirit of OPs question, and very appropriate to my situation, I'm listening to C'est la Vie by The Weathers.
I don't remember after my first car. But I got a really big raise at work one year and bought the new Malibu the year it was redesigned. Black with leather interior. First song played:
Radar Love by Golden Earring
It's a great fucking song to drive too fast to.
I played Royal by Deon Custom and KRNE
Heeell yes! I used to blast Italics all the time. It’s from that wonderful music era of my life from 2014-2016 where I exclusively found music on SoundCloud.
You are my people.
Probably something by the RHCP, but I cannot remember properly
I have never been happy about driving. I probably to turned the radio on and listen to whatever was playing on the local station. Might have been Champaigne with Chris Rock.
Carmageddon soundtrack
What a game
Must have been Lee Scratch Perry. Not a song, a handful of tapes played over and over and.
Back in the early 2000s I bought my first own car. It had a radio with cassatte. I had a mixtape that I carried around, with a walkman (albeit not the original one from Sony). When I drove the car home - stil with temporary number plates, because I needed to register the car to my name - the song Turn The Page played a few minutes into the drive. I will always associate this song with that particular event.

I stuck Oracular Spectacular by MGMT into the CD player of my Miata (second car) when I bought it. I bought it in the winter when I couldn't drive it so the album always brings me back to working on it.
Eve 6 - "Open Road Song"
REM's Drive, I know it's trite but I actually liked Blossom.
Not yet there, but it will probably be something on the radio, as I don't have any tapes (which is the only thing it supports). Could I still buy them anywhere?
I see a lot of tapes at thrift stores or even antique stores. You could also get a Bluetooth or AUX tape adapter which are conceptually very cool
Wow, thanks. I'm kind off sceptical of the aliexpress adapters and I don't even know if the tape player even works. I might test it with some kind of religious tape from my grandma.
No idea.
I don't remember the first song I played, but I remember blasting Eminem's "Without Me" at full volume with my new 12-inch subwoofer from Walmart. An officer pulled up next to me and my teenage self just about shit a brick. He just started nodding to the beat and drove off.
I played "Like a River" to try out the sound system in a car I got recently. Does that count?
Is that from Ocie Elliott?
Bishop Briggs
Absolutely.
La bamba!
It was probably something by The Used or MCR. What a time to be alive in 2008.
